Korean wash-off masks are cream, gel or jelly treatments applied to clean skin and rinsed away after the recommended time. Depending on the formula, they can provide extra hydration, soothe sensitivity, gently exfoliate or help dull and congested skin feel refreshed.

Use after cleansing and before toner, avoiding the delicate eye and lip areas. Most are suited to occasional use rather than every day, particularly when they contain clay or exfoliating ingredients. Follow with toner, serum and moisturiser to complete your routine.
